An abundance of Katherines,from the author of the much acclaimed The Fault In Our Stars, follows the adventures and mishaps of child prodigy Colin Singleton  and his best friend Hassan. Described as “enjoyable, witty and charming” by SJL, this book has  the main ingredients which make the read worthwhile: a liberal dose of comedy and love with a sprinkling of revenge. Colin Singleton may be your everyday prodigy but there is one aspect of his life quite different from everyone else’s ’: he has dated 19 Katherines till date, all with the exact same spelling. Fresh with his breakup from the 19th Katherine, he decides to have his eureka moment. He vows to find the answer to one of the most frequent questions asked: how long till a relationship ends and to get the girl back. He goes on the traditional road trip with his judge Judy loving best friend Hassan, which turns into one of the most extraordinary adventures of all time. With ten thousand dollars in their pockets, they end up in Gutshot, Texas where they meet the energetic Lindsay Lee Wells and other colorful characters’. Here a set of comic events are set into motion involving monster burgers, the archduke of Austria, feral hogs, anagrams, the other Colin and the final revenge for dumpees everywhere  .And Colin Singleton learns the most important lesson of his life: the best way to be extraordinary is to be ordinary.
